Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is 13 points behind an outside challenger in the midterm election, early returns show.
As of Wednesday morning, Villanueva, a centrist Democrat, had 43.22% compared to former Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna at 56.78%. Just 23.42% of 1.3 million ballots have been counted.
The Board of Supervisors also placed Measure A on the ballot, which would allow them to remove the sheriff for malfeasance. So far, that initiative is winning as well. “The Democrat establishment does not want Latinos in office who are moderates or centrists, they want to purge them,” he said. “If you are not a progressive on the far left of the political spectrum, you are unwelcome in LA.”
